There was a very long thread on Rennlist.com about a year ago. You should do some reading before making a decision on where to put your hard-earned $$: http://www.6speedonl...must-see-5.html

I have no personal experience with them, but I was taken aback when that particular incident happened. I do know that Wheel Dynamics is now banned from Rennlist, probably as a result of that incident. Anyway, do some more searching so that you can make your own decision.

Regards, Maurice.

ER,

Be cautious on buying wheels and tires. Be comfortable with the fact that you'll never see any of money you're going to spend (re sale.)

I put on a beautiful set of Victor 5 spoke 20's matched with Perellis on my 997 Carrera. I'd only had them on the car about 3 months when I decided to trade the car in for a Turbo. They only had about 800 miles on them. The dealer wanted the car with the stock wheels so I put them back on thinking "no problem.. I'll just sell the 20's" Well that didn't work out too well .

They are sitting in my garage.. Basically brand new witth TPMS sensors.... No one will touch them.. I have tried to sell them with absolutely no luck.. You can have my 20's CHEAP if you want them. I don't know if you'll like the style.. Here is a pic..

ER,

To offer an opposing view, I also read the negative posts. But I also decided not to judge a company based on one transaction. So after not finding many other complaints, I ordered the 808 series in 19" with Hankook tires. To hedge my bets, I charged the purchase to my credit card. The whole transaction could not have been handled better and the wheels and tires arrived without incident. I initially chose center caps in black and silver but after I got the wheels I decided I wanted the colored center caps. They agreed to exchange them for no charge.

I will admit that I had a problem with some of the wheel weights falling off after I drove the car, but the company's view is that they provide the balancing as a free courtesy so the buyer can't hold them responsible for something the buyer didn't pay for. So I had to have the wheels (re-) balanced. Otherwise, I am very pleased. I've had the wheels and tires for about 5 months now and haven't even had to add air. I have no affiliation, as I'm on the opposite side of the country (FL.) from Wheel Dynamics. Here's the thread I posted after getting the wheels:

Thanks Jeff

Sorry for the late reply, have you had any issues with balancing and with the TPMS readings

I am in the south dade area who are you using for service / balancing etc

best regards

ER,

No problems with balance. Unfortunately, I don't have TPMS on my car. I'm in Palm Beach County, and used Ernie Bello's Motorsports in West Palm Beach. Ernie's a nice guy and weekend racer so he understands Porsches, but I'm sure you can find somewhere closer. I had my intermediate shaft bearing replaced at J&W Motorsports in Doral. They specialize in Audis and Porsches so you could call William at 305-450-7726 and ask him who he recommends. Good luck.
